Block Paintings
Matt Siren
Hand-painted panels, alluding to thematic representations of growing older: youth, middle-age and death.
Arranging them all like a puzzle builds a bigger, more absurd and abstract story; each block painting piece coming together to tell a more visually appealing and fun narrative. It is a painting within a painting within a painting.
The Artist explores these entertaining assemblages in color to prolong our short attention span. We pivot our gaze from the strong central image to the cool elements surrounding it successfully keeping us engaged.
